1. & 2. My friend Thea Kinkaid, Founder of the organization, asked me to join the board in 2015 and, having been touched by cancer through friends and family too many times to count, of course I said yes. Our organization started in October 2013 as New Bern Get Your Pink on when a good friend of ours told her story of being diagnosed with breast cancer and the trials a﻿nd tribulations she faced during her journey. Although breast cancer is not unheard of, it really hit home when this story was told. In a fast but dedicated effort to pull together a community-supported event, we found a public space, recruited a few volunteers, collected giveaways for raffle baskets, baked goodies, lined up guest speakers, and let things unfold.﻿NBGYPO has quickly grown into a successful campaign to raise awareness and funds that directly support people in our community who are fighting cancer and has been renamed New Bern Get Your Color On to include all cancers. Proceeds from our events are used in many different ways. We do something each month for local cancer patients receiving treatment, providing care bags, cookies, bagels, gas and grocery cards, gift cards, items of comfort, etc. Most recently, we created and stocked a book cart for CCHC New Bern Cancer Care that stores books and videos for patients and their families.

3. We need volunteers and sponsorships for our annual fundraiser on March 22, a grass roots, community-supported event that features guest speakers from the community, educational sessions, activities for children and adults, food, music, raffles and MORE! 100% of proceeds from this event will benefit cancer patients in our community. We also accept donations throughout the year.

4. Many, but what happened during the two hours of our first event was nothing short of amazing. More than 150 people attended and over $1,000 was raised. More importantly, as a group, we all grew stronger, more humble, and more determined to do something about this awful disease. Our 3rd Annual event raised more than $30,000 for local cancer patients. The response from our community was overwhelming! So many people come forward to offer their time, talents and services to make it the best event possible.

5. Join us at our New Bern Get Your Color On Block Party on Craven Street at Isaac Taylor Garden on Thursday, March 22 from 5:00 - 7:00!

Come out and support Cancer Awareness at the New Bern Get Your Color On - Block Party located on Craven Street at Isaac Taylor Garden, Thursday, March 22 5-7pm.
